Mike

Nice to see you ! We should all attach pictures of ourselves so we know who we're talking to! Way to set an example Jeremiah.

Hey man... those cars look great! Certainly look a lot better than my shells. Neither of my cars are operational.... I actually like the V8 modification. In fact, the original Scarab conversion (saw one at the Motorsport Show) is one of my favorites!!

Hi all, I've been working on some graphical THEMES for the website. Which one of these themes is your favorite? Please use the Theme Selector above and try each theme out. Tell us what you think!! Now, please don't just vote based on the appearance. Take these considerations in mind before you vote for your favorite: 1) Appearance - How does it appeal to your eyes. 2) Speed - Do you care about speed and load-times or is that trival to you? 3) General Use - Does the theme have the options that you want to see? 4) Navigation - Is the navigation structure something you like? 5) Layout - Does the layout (similar to navigation) work well with your 'surfing' style? 6) Tabs - Are tabs at the top of your screen important or do you like to use the menu at the left? Most of these themes are functional with only a few minor bugs. I don't plan to fix these until we've had a chance to vote on the best theme, so, please don't send bugs to me just yet. I also would like to know your thoughts about the themes. Comments are welcome. And remember, the basis of this poll will result in our new look! So, take your time and evaluate the themes............

Hi guys, Just came across this post. I've been busy with so many other things on the site that I haven't really browsed the forums! Just glad to see email working again!!!! Anyway, there is a donate button as well as a "Zcar Subscriptions" menu item. You can also click here. The subscriptions are set up to donate on a monthly basis. Not sure how you guys found out about my expense, but, I've been keeping it a secret because I just love to do it. The site does cost around $130 a month in subscription fees since I moved it away from my house. The sales of our Microfiche CD have been keeping us in the black. But, I noticed lately that sales have been slowing down. If we had 13 people at $10/month..... I also plan to continue with the board of directors idea. Now that the site is back to normal working condition I think we are ready. We could really use a business sponsor. This site has enough traffic to impress just about any business person. Again, I just don't have the time to do it all myself. Thanks for the thoughts on this. If you wish to help out in any way, check out the options available.

Dazza, This is something we can put on the club server in a high-rez format. If you send it to me (webmaster@240z.org), I can put it on the site so that many other people can also benefit from it was well...

Hi Steve, Your club or this one?

Hey Steve, That looks like many of the cars in Australia. The Holden is a very popular car down there. Holden is dominating the industry in Aust. While they are nice looking and pretty quick... they are heavy and seem to have all the same problems that Chev or GMC has here in the US. I took a 3-4 day trip on the Great Ocean Road in a Holden Commodore. It's very similar to a Ford Taurus, but, has been 'supped' up to perform better. Comparing these two cars side by side, I'd much rather drive the Commodore. Anyway, reading into this post, these guys have already mentioned that Holden will be bringing in a car through Pontiac. It will be called the GTO. The car I really liked in Aust (besides the Skyline) was the Holden Monara (HSV version) -- stands for Holden Special Version. These cars were upwards of $100,000 AUD (around $55,000 USD).

Actually, it's on the right side.

No worries... Your right about the for sale stuff, thou. That can get extremely outdated. I will take a look at it and move the oldest stuff out into a different folder.

Why did you post this in the website development forum? I'll move it to the proper forum.

You'll have to contact them directly. Vancouver was the closest shipping site for me. As far as the texture, I'm sure they will try to match it as close as possible, but, it's not going to be identical.

There's no way we are going to start deleting posts based on the date... Sorta ruins the idea of a database website, ya know? You can set up your preferences to show you only the last XX days if you don't like weeding through everything. Another good feature is the search mechanism. Very powerful tool. Now, about space, message posts really don't take up that much overhead. It's all the graphics and fun stuff that takes up the real hard-drive real estate.

Would love to see it!!

Yea, there was some discussion about it on our site. http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=3931&rbypass=1

Hey guys, Thanks for the compliments! :cheeky: The shoutbox will be back as soon as I figure out how to make it work with the newest database structure. I had it online once, but, it kept appearing above the title bar. So, I'll give the standard answer... "Working on it!" :beard:

Yep, standard. Yep, it looks out of place. But, it's supposed to be like that. The "Mr Z" writing isn't standard thou. That is a fan for your heater. Doesn't look bad at all. This is at least a $1,500 car if isn't rust free. Look for bubbles in the paint behind the wheel wells toward the bottom of the body area. I'd pay $1,500 or $2,000 for it.

I've got a pair of fenders from my resto project. Not sure why I replaced them because they have already been stripped, straightened, and primered. The holes that were in the side (from the door bumper strip) have also been filled. These fenders are straight. I probably have about $200-$300 of work into them (done by a professional, not me). I will sell both fenders for $100. Or, make me an offer. I'm in Albany, Oregon. Probably not good to ship these things, but, you never know. Shipping is your responsibility. Or, you can pick them up. I can bring the fenders to Portland in my truck (I work up there). They are currently hanging out in my garage (literally) and I need the room. Let me get some pictures and I'll post them soon.

Yep, and send some pictures of the car. Do you have a digital camera?

Why are you apologizing? Because of your username? Do you have 12 Z's? :tapemouth What sort of problems did you have logging in? Did you register as a new member or were you a member previously? Anyway, if you remember the problem you had, please post it in our Bugs forum. I'll try to see if I can fix it.

Thanks for all the positive feedback guys!! It's refreshing to hear good words after working on it so long. I'm working on getting everything back to the way it was. This new 'look' was my idea of making it unique. The appearance thing is quite funny, most people freak out if something changes in appearance even if the content is exactly the same. I guess people just don't like change. Me? I love change. The engine behind this site has been greatly enhanced and it give us a lot more ability. You'll notice little things here and there that will prove this to you. But anyway, thanks again! Zee ya.

Is the banner still there? I made a change in the domain so that it would forward everything to classicZcars.com. But, it didn't work the way I expected. Hate those banners!! Anyway, if I type http://www.240z.org now, I don't see the banner anymore. Let me know if it's the same for you.

That looks like a pretty average size (not 50mm). I'd say 44 or 40mm. And, yes, $1,500 is quite steep. You guys in the UK, so, that would make them even more expensive in USD. I bought a brand new set of Mikuni 40mm's for $600 a few years ago. But, that was a hell of a deal.
